I add modules outside of debian-mode: /usr/src/linux$ make <blah>config /usr/src/linux$ make dep; make modules I then copy the resulting module to the correct place in /lib/modules and run depmod -a. I haven't found a debianized-way of doing this quickly without a full kernel or full module rebuild, which didn't also require nvidia\* to be rebuilt, which needs the module unloaded, which needs X to be stopped... -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
